Would love to see how many in Ukraine.
That’s a great point! I’m assuming potentially even more than the UK
And Ukraine population in 2023 was 37.86M
I self censored a lecture last week, unsure I’ll be able to maintain it this week, “anyone want to win a bitcoin bottle, the freedom water tastes so much purer”
Yes, Gonzalo Lira's family might be interested in this too.
Gonzalo Lira begged for help and said that if he does not receive help and gets arrested, he will get killed. And then he got arrested, got “a pneumonia”, and died in prison. He was a US citizen. It would have taken one phone call to save him, but no -– he had been criticizing the wrong people.
